7. Small L liberal from Edmonton

I’m right there with you. As a small L liberal in Edmonton, I’m horrified by the calamity the world is witnessing. I never thought I’d witness such an historic era.

That being said, authoritarian gov’ts do not function indefinitely. The urge for people to be free from corruption and calamity will eventually win out. The downside is death. The number of people that will perish will be enormous.

Canadians must also be reminded that this march towards authoritarian gov’t is happening in Canada too. Russians will mess with our elections. The IDU and Stephen Harper actively push our democracy towards fascism too.

VOTE like it’s your last ballot ever.... EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.
